Go Bananas

If you’ve got a toddler or a under-6 in Stroud who needs to burn off some serious energy, Go Bananas is probably already on your radar. The soft play setup — slides, climbing frames, the usual chaos — is well-suited to little ones, and the enclosed area means you can actually relax for five minutes without hovering. Staff are genuinely friendly, which makes a difference when you’re wrangling a two-year-old. It’s kept clean, the food’s decent enough for a quick lunch, and they do birthday parties too if you want someone else to handle the mess for once.
